Thus, web design can be defined as the skill used to create these presentations. Designers create such presentations using the web browser or software such as internet television clients, RSS readers as well as microblogging clients. The software used has to be web - enabled. This is normaly carried out in order to generate an anthology of electronic files located on a server. It is also necessary for the presentation of content as well as interactive features or interfaces so that the end user can easily access them in the form of pages. Web design involves the placement of several elements including text and bit-map images such as gifs, JPEGs as well as GIFs on the page. The use of HTML, XML as well as XHTML helps designers to place these web elements.<br />Web design also involves the placement of other more complex media such as animations, sounds, vector graphics as well as videos. In such a case, design would therefore require the use of plug - ins which can also be fixed to the web page through HTML together with XHTML tags. Examples of plug-ins commonly used include QuickTime, Flash as well as Java run - time environment. Since there have been major developments in web design ever since its advent, most people use XHTML and XML together with Cascading Style Sheets commonly referred to as CSS. These tags are necessary in the positioning and manipulation of objects and elements on the web page. As advancements in web design keep growing, designers are slowly embracing the creation of web pages without plug - ins.<br />Web designers create pages that could be broadly classified under two groups; static or dynamic. The content and layout of static web pages can only be altered with manual updates created by the programmer. Dynamic pages on the other hand can be altered by an end user's input. The computing environment can also alter the content of a dynamic web page. It is however necessary to note that web design is especially concerned with the graphic design of a web page rather than the logistics as is the case in web development. Web design involves the use of several disciplines. These include search engine optimization, animation, typography, graphic design, interaction design, communication design, photography, corporate identity, marketing among others. What is more, it uses Multimedia technologies such as Flash and Silverlight together with Database technologies including PHP and ASP. Mark up together with Style sheet languages are also used, not forgetting to mention client - side scripting as well as server - side scripting.<br />Designers have to conform to certain principles in order to ensure that the web pages are accessible. For instance, it is advisable to use semantic markup so that the web page can have a meaningful structure. What is more, the web page should also be organized semantically so that other web services can easily recognize them on various web pages. Web designers also need to use a valid mark up language that follows the standards of a published DTD or Schema. Non text components should be presented in forms equivalent to text such as images and multimedia. Hyperlinks are also necessary but they should be placed in such a way that when one reads the text, it still makes sense. For layout in Web design apply CSS instead of HTML tables. Frames should also be avoided. It is important for any web design process to consider the intelligibility of the web pages while it should also be easily accessible to the users.<br /> </div><div id="article-resource"> <a href="http://www.jatech.ca/" target="_new">More on Web Design.</a>.<br /> </div>lelyholidanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267170507194041926.post-71947524338552540642013-11-01T00:29:00.002-07:002013-11-01T00:30:49.608-07:00Tips And Tricks To Get A Web Design Job And Various Online Job AlternativesAre you hoping to have a job in web design or web development?

A majority of times, these disabilities restrict the individual from completely benefiting from the resources of the Internet. Many businesses have a Web page on the Internet that has some type of limitation for someone with a disability. Businesses that do not maintain accessible Web sites are ignoring a vital portion of the population and because business owners rely on Web designers, it is the Web designer's responsibility to create accessible Web sites. Web designers use a variety of techniques to ensure Web sites are accessible for users with disabilities; including, visual impairments, physical impairments, cognitive impairments, and hearing impairments.<br /><br />People with normal vision are able to view images, understand visual cues, and understand the symbolic meanings' of colors and shapes. However, people with vision impairments cannot always understand the images and colors presented to them from a Web page. There are different types of vision impairments that effect users of a Web site in different ways. Web designers need to consider different levels of sight impairments when designing a Web site. People with sight impairments; including, no vision, limited vision, and color blindness have different accessibility needs that should be designed for accordingly.<br /><br />Accessibility for individuals with vision impairments include; resizing text, color contrast; including, alt and skip text, and compatibility with screen readers. Color contrast includes using colors that compliment each other and font colors that are easily legible. For example, text background and font color that are too similar are difficult or impossible for people with colorblindness to differentiate. Colors must also have the ability to be changed to black and white or magnified without distorting. Text size is an important factor for people with limited sight. Small font on a Web site can be very difficult to read and should have the ability to be enlarged. Elderly people that require reading glasses would have difficulties reading small text and find using the site cumbersome. When there are images on a Web page, they should be labeled with an alternative information source, known as an alt tag or alt text. Alt text allows assistive technology devices to read a Web site and interpret images appropriately. Skip text triggers assistive technology devices to skip the content. This is used with repetitive, non-critical information like the logo of the site on pages other than the home page and for menus that are found in multiple locations on the same page.<br /><br />Hearing is another classification of a disability that can affect the way a person receives information from a Web site. The technologies used on the Internet enable people to watch videos, listen to music, and use other types of audio devices. Web designers should implement technology and methods that allow people with hearing disabilities to obtain information using a different mode. Hearing Impairments can be compensated for by using accessibility strategies related to any type of audio on the site; specifically audio that communicates information. For Web pages that contain audio information, a caption alternative should be available for people who need it. If there is video embedded into a Web page, this too should have a caption alternative for people with hearing disabilities. These alt tags can work similarly to those used for individuals with vision impairments as they are not seen by the sighted user but can be accessed by assistive technology. Providing a transcript for Web pages that provide podcasts will help a site be more accessible.<br /><br />Accessibility methods designed to assist users with physical impairments can be more complicated to implement. The site should be designed so that users can access and navigate the entire Web site using multiple modes of input. For example, a site that can only be navigated using a mouse may not be accessible to a person with Cerebral Palsy if he or she uses keystrokes to navigate the Web. Web developers should program their Web pages so that it can be navigated using keyboard strokes, along with mouse input, to navigate the site and its menus. This will provide multiple input modes for people with physical disabilities. A Web site must also be error tolerant and have consistent pages and menus.<br /><br />Web accessibility for individual's with cognitive and learning disabilities is the most difficult to design for. It is difficult to recommend design methods that will benefit all users with cognitive and learning disabilities. This area is complex and its population is larger than those with physical and sensory disabilities combined. Web sites should be designed with simple and clear navigation menus keeping page layout consistent and error tolerant. Clear language and the utilization of minimal text will also greatly benefit users with cognitive impairments.<br /><br />Specific accessibility guidelines have been designed to direct Web designers, but they are not required to be used by commercial businesses. As laws change, it will become more important for Web designers to understand the various categories of disabilities and the techniques and guidelines to allow for the creation of an accessible Web site. Now is the time for Web designers to begin educating themselves about designing accessible Web sites for a variety of disabilities so they are prepared for the time when Web accessibility is mandatory.<br /><br />Mike Barks is a Web developer for Binary On A Wire, an internet technology company providing Web development and hosting services. http://binaryonawire.com<br /><br />For Web site consultations and to learn how to make your business Web site work smarter visit http://barkas.com<br /><br />lelyholidanoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267170507194041926.post-14050669885506687582013-10-24T20:35:00.001-07:002013-10-24T20:35:31.818-07:00Forgotten Steps of Web DesignAre you designing a website right now?

Will they know what your talking about and how to use your site? Or will they just leave and use someone else site, that is not complicated to use?<br /><br />Think of something you know nothing about, maybe its construction, mechanics or avionics. Whatever it is that you know nothing or very little about, realize that for other people that's the internet. So design your site so it fits your target audience.

You will be able to search more specifically-your browser will then gather, analyze, and then present the data to you based on the detailed or narrow parameters of your search. Web 3.0 has a greater understanding of all information present on the web, and can efficiently and more effectively deliver it.<br />When using search engines today, you still have to work with them or "guide" them to display the best search results-they still don't fully "comprehend" what you are seeking. Search engines scour the net for web pages that contain the keywords or phrases you've searched for. Web 2.0 browsers can't confirm to you that the page displayed is relevant to your query, it can only confirm a keyword match. (For instance, if you're searching for pictures of a jaguar, Google will display an almost even mix of cars and cats).Web 3.0 will be able to understand context and deliver a more appropriate search results, along with a match for the keywords you've entered.<br />Let's say for instance you want to go on a vacation, perhaps a cruise around the Mediterranean. With Web 3.0, you'll be able to type "Mediterranean cruise under $4,000" and receive a variety of results related to your query, beyond typical cruise results including restaurants, activities, ticket prices, and other suggestions. Web 3.0 puts the entire Internet-and all contextually related information-at your searching fingertips.<br /><b>Web 3.0: What to Expect</b><br />Most Internet experts agree that Web 3.0 will possess the following general traits.<br />An overall "rich" and "relevant" browsing experience.<br />The possibility of a unique browsing experience, based on what you've previously browsed for-you could be entering the same keywords as someone else, but will receive different results based on previous queries and profiles. (Think of Pandora, the music genome project. Pandora relies on trial and error to provide individualized content and music selections based on previous likes and dislikes. Web 3.0 may be similar to this, but perhaps more efficient.<br />A tailored web experience based on browsing habits and individual tastes.<br />The overall transformation of the web into a database of information, with content made available by non-browsing applications as well.<br />Overall focus on usability: search engines returning fewer and better results, with less spam and online scams.<br /><b>What Will This Entail for Web Design?</b><br />We're already communicating, publishing, shopping, and sharing more quickly and easily, as data, content, and people are far more accessible then ever before. Web 3.0 will take that to the next level-it'll match information exactly to where it's needed.Web designers will have to design with that new experience in mind.<br /><b>Web Design with Web 3.0 in Mind: The Future of Web Design</b><br /><b>Test the source of all web pages for semantic richness</b>-content should be readable by both humans and web applications. The clearer your content, the easier time search engines and other applications will have indexing and then displaying those results to users.<br /><b>Web design 3.0 means web design for mobile devices</b>, such as iPhones, Blackberry, iPads, and other computing devices. Test existing web pages for compliance with all computing devices to ensure all users to have accessibility to your content. Web design should always take mobile devices into consideration for Web 3.0.<br /><b>Have your web designer verify that all HTML web pages do not use outdated or ineffectual table tags and coding</b>.In addition, verify that all content as free of errors for optimal search engine indexing and search. This will ensure you are Web 3.0 ready.<br /><b>By now, most web designers know that Flash and Search Engines aren't compatible</b>.

By definition, a package is a ready-made program that is available to users for use to perform some tasks. These users include non-IT professionals. Thus, a web site qualifies to be a package like Microsoft Office, Peachtree Accounting packages.<br />Before the revolution of The Web (WWW), development of software package was the exclusive preserve of skillful programmers. Programmers or software developers develop the logic of programs which a package will eventually use to function. This logic building aspect of software development requires high level of intellect. This together with the intricacies of mastering programming languages made the development of packages uninteresting and unattractive to a large spectrum of people.<br />Following the revolution of The Web, it became possible for non-programmers to develop packages right from the inception. These are web-based packages and of course, web sites, requiring no programming skills. The result was the creation of a new type of profession called Web Design. A web designer is someone who organizes a web page by arranging texts, pictures, animations, forms etc on a page and formats them to produce good presentation. All he needs do is to make use of any of the appropriate web development tools like Macromedia Visual Studio and Microsoft FrontPage. Through the Design section of Macromedia Dreamweaver, for example, you can design a whole web page without using HTML codes. What you have is a web site. A web site is one or more web pages. These web development tools are the equivalent of what the popular package Adobe PageMaker does which is to organize and format pages of books, magazines, newspapers etc. No programming is required.<br />The limitation of web designing is the creation of static web sites which may be suitable for some applications but not all. They produce non-interactive and non-dynamic web sites that are unsuitable for certain applications and needs. For example, online registration. The role of a web designer stops at this point and that of a web programmer begins. As a result of the limitation of static web sites, the need to move further arose. People wanted sites where they could post forms for tasks like creating accounts online and authentication of passwords. This led to the development of web programming languages otherwise known as scripts. Examples are JavaScript, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, PHP, ColdFusion etc. The result was the creation of the profession of web programming. A web programmer is someone who develops programs for the purpose of performing automated tasks on a web site. Some prefer to call them software developers. Example of such tasks are:<br /><ol><li>Data validation.</li><li>Form submission.</li><li>Sign Up.</li><li>Database search.</li></ol>Thus, it became possible to develop dynamic and interactive web sites capable of doing what conventional software could do on stand-alone computer and network using non-internet technologies. Online banking, stock broking are examples. These functions can now be carried out entirely on internet. To develop functional scripts for such automated tasks, logic building and mastery of the programming language to use in terms of syntax are required. Most of the programs are written from scratch.<br />Can you be a web designer and a web programmer? Yes, you can. There are people who double as web designer and web programmer but specialists are noted for doing better in their respective fields of specialization than non-specialists. Some sites do not require more than web designing but many sites nowadays require both web designing and web programming like the multi-tier applications that have presentation layer, the logic layer that interfaces the presentation layer with the database, and the data layer that contains the database. There are even database specialists who design database and write what is called stored procedures and triggers right inside the database. The use of stored procedures increases the overall efficiency of site execution as it minimizes the number of times SQL statements are parsed, compiled, and optimized during execution. You can see that site development is quite deep.<br />The roles of web designers and web programmers are complementary in the development of web site. You need to identify where your ability lies and allow that to inform your choice of area of specialization. If you know you have the ability to write programs, you can go beyond web designing and become a web programmer but if it is otherwise, stick to web designing and continue to grow and sharpen your skills. The truth of the matter is that programming is not for everybody.<br />If you are a conventional graphic artist, you will find it easy to crossover to web designing and if you are a conventional programmer, you can readily crossover to web programming. What I mean by conventional graphic artists are those who have the expertise in the use of tools like CorelDraw, Photoshop, and PageMaker to perform Desktop Publishing tasks. By conventional programmers, I mean the experts in programming languages like C++, FoxPro, COBOL, and Dbase.<br />As long as you can determine where your ability lies, you will surely overcome frustrations in your tasks of developing web sites and you will continue to enjoy what you are doing. If you are a web designer and you have a job that involves programming which you cannot handle, look for assistance from a web programmer. If you are a web programmer and you are having issues with web designing in your task, seek the assistance of a web designer. If you can handle both areas to a very large extent, well and good.<br /> </div><div id="article-resource"> Olumide Bola holds a bachelors degree of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and is currently pursuing chartered membership of the Computer Professionals Registration Council of Nigeria (CPN).

Enter Web 2.0 and more traditional marketing avenues venturing into the marketplace, and creative web design companies have come into the game.<br />By 'creative web design', I refer to websites which still have the functionality and relevant information consumers have come to expect, but have a huge focus on the aesthetic aspect, and use traditional marketing 'wow factor' to capture the users attention, and last longer in their mind than those of the competitor.<br />Picture a billboard with great graphic design and immaculate choice of imagery, compared with an ad on the side of the road simply with a name and number. While you may have chosen to look at both, the creative approach will prompt you, the audience, to remember the creative billboard.<br />Now picture two websites, side by side. One with a flash intro page, immediately showing a montage of images and grabbing y our attention; which leads into a visually beautiful website where every pixel is perfectly crafted into alignment. Next, a bland website showing you purely text and a basic navigation. The difference is so enormous it's like comparing Black and White TV with a 3d Movie Theatre.<br />Through the use of the latest and greatest technology, a creative web design company will use Flash, jQuery, and HTML5 to visually engage the user; however this is where the pitfalls of a creative web design can come into play.<br />Many years ago, around the year 2000, many graphic design companies started to see an emergence in the marketplace for web services. Many of these companies had employees with a little web experience, enough to get by, and as such they began offering web services. What they didn't understand was functionality, valid mark-up, cross-browser compatibility, or SEO - all things which a more traditional web design company would take into account.<br />While this would be classed as a creative web design company, often their creative web design's wouldn't be successfully converted from a design into code, and having mis-alignments in a design (especially cross-browser) became commonplace. Without experienced developers on-hand, many of these problems became overlooked, and many substandard creatively designed websites are still around today, with more and more being sent live on the world wide web every day.<br />For this reason, when looking to hire a creative web design company, you should always be sure to look into their operation, most reputable companies won't mind you asking a few questions. In a creative web design company, the people building your site should be working as a team. The days of all-rounders are over, and when creativity is to be combined with functionality, it is essential to have a 'designer' as well as a 'developer' work on your project.<br />A designer is generally artistically minded, and may have worked as a graphic designer in the print world at some capacity. Thei r goal is to create a visually appealing design for your approval. This will be a static image of what your website is going to look like, as it is much faster to edit a graphic than to edit a coded website. Most creative web design agencies work in a similar fashion, as this allows for the complete artistic talent of the designer to be used, and complete use of the imagination of not only the designer, but also the client.<br />Once a design is approved, a developer steps in to convert this to a web format in standards compliant code. This may include implementation of a Content Management System (CMS), and generally involves some mild Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as well as cross-browser compatibility. Once this is done, your brand new creative web design is all ready for the World Wide Web.<br />You need to choose a creative web design company that can fulfil all of your needs from creating a website which suits your brand image and captivates the user, to something which will navigate easily, rank well on search engines, function the same across your entire user-base, and ultimately lead to more conversions in your market.<br />The main things to keep in mind when choosing a creative web design company are their design to implementation process, their cost, their portfolio, and ultimately the level of service you can expect. I am an online consultant, and can help you shoul d you have trouble finding an agency, or even if you would like me to help in assessing another agencies ability to meet your needs to come up with a creative web design that will fit your needs and help in squashing your competition.<br /> </div><div id="article-resource"> Jared Codling from Creative Web Design Blog [http://www.creative-web-design-blog.com/]<br /> </div>lelyholidanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267170507194041926.post-66977415637637056292013-06-09T00:12:00.000-07:002013-11-08T00:13:56.924-08:00Top 10 Web Design Schools in Canada<div id="article-content"> There are many web design schools in Canada that offer a promising career for hopefuls looking to get into the design industry.

The use of images and graphics were not yet main stream at the time. The first web design was made of a single column and text-based pages in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). Website pages were a collection of text documents connected to each other by internal links. Through research and development, significant advancements were made. The first website was published in 1991 by the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee. He is also the current director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) founded in 1994, which oversees the web development and its standards.<br />In the mid 1990s, table-based websites were introduced. Now web designers were able to organize their web pages within cells of a table. It became possible to create multiple column websites, which in return allowed better web content organization and navigation layout. Table-based websites also enabled customization of each element within the table. Web designers could now insert background images within cells of a table; however, good design principles were not really important. Website designers and clients were interested by the hottest, latest and most advanced web design technology available. As things started to evolve, frames, animated texts and visual hit counters became part of web design. Frames were used to clearly separate the body of a website from the sidebar navigation. Animated texts and GIF images were used to capture the website user's attention, while visual hit counters became a good way to measure the popularity of a webpage. In 1994, Macromedia introduced Flash, which is essentially a software used to produce Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to create animations and stream videos.<br />In the late 1990s, Flash became more popular. Most websites became a combination of table-based design and flash elements, with flash animations including the company's logo, a flash-based navigation and flash-based image galleries. The major Web Design innovation of the late 1990s was the introduction of Personal Home Page (PHP) which according to Wikipedia, is a server-side scripting language designed for web development. PHP gained a lot of popularity because it is free and compatible with leading operating systems and web servers which make it deployment easy across different platforms.<br />The 21st century brought a lot of innovation to web design with the introduction of CSS. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to format an HTML webpage. Now web designers could separate the content of a page (HTML) from its styling or design (layout, colors, fonts, etc.). In the early 2000s, Microsoft Internet Explorer became the first web browser to fully support the CSS structure. In stride, the concept of intelligent web was introduced with the advent of JavaScript. Now designers could animate content without flash and perform a complex computation of data. The use of drop-down menus and forms also became very popular. These forms allowed internet users to generate content online, create personal profiles and upload pictures.<br />In the mid 2000s, the semantic web was born. This movement primary allows machines and computers to understand website pages as well as human do. This was made possible by inserting computer readable Meta tags about pages and their relation to one another through technologies such as XML, TURTLE and N-TRIPLES.<br />The last decade was marked by the advent of web 2.0 with some major updates. The web became more and more interactive, and web applications began to expand. Now web content can refresh itself without having the entire page reloaded. The attention is now geared toward web content (articles, Press Releases, graphics and videos) instead of just selling products online. And HTML 5 was introduced as an alternative to Flash and graphics.<br /><strong>Mobile Web The New Trend </strong><br />A recent study showed that by 2014, mobile device sales will exceed desktop sales. More and more web designers are converting their website to a responsive version for users on the go. The new standard is gearing towards tall and skinny websites, rather than short and wide lay-outs. The navigation menu is significantly reduced to the most important links. Nowadays, mobile sites are used for various purposes, such as location detection, GPS tracking, etc. and the data is offer services, such mobile coupons, local restaurant reviews, etc. Another recent study stated that two-thirds of cell phone users say they access the web/email from their device.<br /> </div><div id="article-resource"> <a href="http://www.otlmp.com/" target="_new">OTLMP.com</a><br /> </div>lelyholidanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267170507194041926.post-26208806960899160112013-04-30T00:17:00.000-07:002013-11-08T00:19:01.392-08:00Solutions for your Business: Denver Web Design and Internet Marketing<ins style="background-color: transparent; border: none; display: inline-table; height: 60px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"><ins id="aswift_2_anchor" style="background-color: transparent; border: none; display: block; height: 60px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"></ins></ins> <br /><div id="article-content"> Internet marketing and web design go hand in hand.

If you are a company that must project credibility, creativity, and professionalism, you need to look to experienced and technically savvy providers for web design solutions.<br />Businesses need to come across as outlets of quality products and services. They must be able to convey that they can truly provide value for their client's money. People can only base their judgment on the look of a Web site and the experience they get from browsing though the site. First impressions do last and the only way people will ever check out and come back to a site is if it provides what he needs.<br />If for example you are an E-commerce company; you sell products and services online. Your Web site must feature enhancements such as catalogues, product check out capabilities, credit card payment processing, among others. You must also need to assure your clients of safe transactions in your Web site. They must be able to see that there are proper security protocols in place. A professional business web designer will be able to provide you with all these features.<br />On the other hand, if you are a company who just wants to have a Web site that promotes marketing and public relations, your Web site should be designed and structured in a way that is attractive, user friendly, and highly interactive. It must always create excitement and encourage a loyal following. A business web designer can integrate download capabilities, chat rooms, and nifty graphics. Your site must also be easy to maintain, as you would most likely have to tweak it often to provide excitement for your target audience and answer their needs.<br /> </div><div id="article-resource"> Business Web Design [http://www.WetPluto.com/Business-Web-Designs.html] provides detailed information on Small Business Web Design, Business Web Designs, Inexpensive Small Business Web Design, Small Business Web Design And Development and more.

It's not only about getting your website up and running. It's about designing every aspect of your website - every "nook and cranny" - to lead your visitors to the ultimate end, a sale. Whether you plan to build a service-oriented website or offer many products, your site's design must have all the ingredients for success from the very start. Be sure the web designer you choose has an understanding of promotion as well as custom web design. Here are some features your site must have to survive among the Internet masses.<br />An Easily Recognized USP (Unique Selling Proposition)<br />When a visitor arrives at any of your web pages (not only the homepage), he/she should understand what your site is all about immediately. You only have a split second to grab their attention. Make sure each web page has a powerful keyword-rich headline that will keep the visitor reading.<br />Graphics that Complement without Dominating the Web Pages<br />Every website needs a few graphics here and there to make the web design pleasing to the eye, but be sure your graphic design and logo design do not dominate your pages. You want visitors to read your page, not look at your graphics. So, keep graphics to a minimum, and use them only when they help to create an even reading flow on the page. Many sites use a pleasant "newsletter" style when there is much to read on a page, sprinkling graphics or photos throughout the text in a wrap-around sense. For logo design, keep it small and simple. There's nothing more annoying than waiting on a page to load because its logo is too big!<br />Keyword Rich Content for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)<br />Be sure your designer understands about SEO and keywords. Every page of your site should be designed with search engine promotion in mind. This means gearing your meta tags, link text for pages or in menus, headlines, image "alt text" contents, etc. to attract search engine traffic for the long haul.<br />Easy-to-Use Navigation<br />Be sure the navigation on your web pages is easy to use. Many visitors will not take the time to "search" for hidden links or to browse through a confusing menu. If ordering custom web design from a professional, write out on paper how you would like your link system to flow from page to page. If you have content, place visible, colored links within the text to give visitors a chance to click while reading. Have menu bars or links in the usual places - sidebars and top/bottom of the web page.<br />Promote your Website<br />Some design firms will offer promotion bonuses with a custom web design package. This benefits you because it helps you to get a head start on building traffic. You can take advantage of the design firm's skills and knowledge about Web promotion and search engine optimization. Don't forget to promote your website in every way possible. Print your site address on business cards, newspaper ads, letterhead, etc. Also, promote your site online using only targeted advertising.<br />Custom web design techniques and promotion are so tightly knit together that it's impossible to separate the two. Be sure to include both in your custom web design plans so you can see positive results from the start!<br /> </div><div id="article-resource"> <b>Chris Robertson</b> is an author of <b>Majon International</b>, one of the worlds MOST popular <a href="http://www.majon.com/" target="_new">internet marketing</a> companies on the web.

The important thing to know about Web 2.0 is that it is the second generation of the web. It became known as Web 2.0 after the dot com crash in the early 2000s and the Internet rebounded and continued growing like nobody had imagined. Now, in the second generation of the Internet there are some core responsibilities that web development companies should be competent in. Database management, web design, website marketing, and the like are just a few of them. The Internet has grown and changed in many ways since the first generation so you want to make sure the Utah web design company you go with is competent in all areas of the new web.<br />Most Utah web development companies will be well aware what needs to be done and how to do it, but some of them may still be working with pre- Web 2.0 designs and features that you aren't interested in. So, it is important to discuss how your website will be designed, formatted, marketed, and more before you sign up with a particular Utah web design company.<br />A great way to see if the web design firm you are considering is up to date on the Web 2.0 world is to check out some of their other designs. This is a great way to see what they company is capable of, what they have done, and how it works in the second generation of the web. If you aren't sure what you should be looking for then it is important to do a little research on exactly what Web 2.0 really is and how web design has changed as a result. When you know what to expect you will have a much better chance of getting what you are looking for. Remember this, however, and that is as far as core competencies are concerned web design, database management, interfaces, and even marketing are areas where your web design company should be very competent in the new generation of the Internet.<br /> </div><div id="article-resource"> Natalie Aranda is a freelance writer.
